The Benefit of Being Sherlock Holmes

The benefit of being Sherlock Holmes

Is being Sherlock Holmes.

The drawback of being Sherlock Holmes

Is that everyone assumes you're a drug addict,

and suspects you're a homosexual.

Being a poet is sort of like that,

Except without the benefits,

and you're kind of unreliable.

So, you asked me if I trust you,

But I can't even trust my simplest answer.

I'm the one who can't be trusted.
